NEW ORLEANS PRALINE RECIPE RECIPES

Steps:

• For the stock, place chicken in a large stockpot and add water to cover. Bring to a boil, skim off foam, and add celery, onion, carrots and salt. Reduce heat and simmer for about 1 hour.
• Remove the chicken and set aside to cool. Once cooled enough to handle, remove the meat tearing into bite sized pieces and discard the bones and skin. Strain but reserve the broth, discarding the vegetables. Return the stock to the pot.
• For the stew, add the chopped onion, carrots and celery to the stock. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and add the chicken base, pepper, poultry seasoning and thyme. Simmer for 15 minutes.
• Add the mushrooms and noodles. Combine the evaporated milk and cornstarch to make a slurry; stir in. Bring up to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for another 15 minutes.
• Add the shredded chicken to the pot, simmer for another 5 to 10 minutes or until chicken is warmed through, noodles are tender and sauce is thickened.
• Taste and adjust salt as needed.
• May be left on a low simmer to reach desired thickness if stirred occasionally, which is what I usually do.
